TEA-KETTLE SPO UT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 267,370, dated November14, 1882.

' Application filed September 15,1882. (No model.)

1 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN B. RAYNOR and DAVID N. SMITH, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Mazomanie, in the county of Dane and State ofWisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inTea-Kettle Spouts; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part ofthis specification.

Our invention relates to tea-kettles; and it consists in theconstruction, adaptation, and application to the kettle-body of a novelform of spout, hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of a blank of tin or othersuitable metal from which the body of the spout is formed. Fig. 2 is asimilar view of a blank of like material from which the spout-top isformed. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the spoutcomplete. Fig. 4 is anenlarged vertical sectional view out through upper portion of the spout,and Fig. 5 is an enlarged horizontal sectional view out through lowerportion of the same.

The blank A, from which the spout-body is Q'formed, is provided with twoshort inclined matter of this application, as will be hereinafterdescribed.

The blank B, Fig. 2, which forms the spouttop, has its two edges 9 ginclinedto conform to the radially-projecting walls or sides of thespout-body after the same has been shaped The edges a a of blank Aarefolded over inwardly along dotted lines at m and n a in such a manner asto form the double lap or flange j.

(Shown in section ill Fig. 4.) The edges 9 g of blank B are turned upand over along dotted lines k 70, Fig. 2, forming a single lap orflange, i, which, together with double lap or flange j of thespout-body, forms the water-tightjoint shown in Fig. 4.

The edges 1) b of blank A are folded backwardly or outwardly along linesIL 71., making a single lap or flange, l l, as shown in Fig. 5, thevertical single-flanged edges of the spoutthus formed being parallel toeach other and seamed to corresponding vertical flanged parallel edgesof the kettle-bod y (1. The bottom of the spout is swaged a short way upfrom its lower edge, as at 0, Figs. 3 and 5, to conform to the contourof the kettlebody.

A novel result in the peculiar construction of the above-described spoutis obtained by cutting off the corners e e from the blank, the flangesor lapsj being thus made independently of laps or flanges Z and withoutaffecting the formation of the latter. By cutting off the cornersffthelower ends of laps or flanges H are prevented from interfering with theseaming of the lower swaged end, 0, of the spout to the edge of thebottom of kettle-body.

We are aware that spouts have been con-' structed with lateral wingshaving laps or flanges for seaming to the kettle-body, the

wings ill this form of spout being essential to provide for verticalparallel edges, which, when seamed to corresponding vertical paralleledges of the kettle-body, formed a panel conforming in contour to theshape of the kettle-body.

In our improved spout the vertical parallel flanged edges 1 l seam intocorresponding parallel vertical edges in the kettle-body, the panelbeing formed without the intervention of lateral wings.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The kettle-spout blank A, provided with inclined edges to a and Z)I), the corners formed thereby, together with the corners formed byinclined edges 1) b and bottom edge, d, being cutoff, in combinationwith top-plate blank B, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The kettle-spout, as described, provided with inwardly folded-overdouble laps or flanges j, and the top plate, B, provided withsingle-flanged edges i, in combination with the bottom edge, 0, swagedto conform in con- In testimony whereof we affix our signatures tour tothe shape of the kettle-body, substanin presence of two Witnesses.tially as set forth.

T J 3. In a kett1e-spout, the combination of the H%S 5 bottomswagededgeandverticalsingle-flanged parallel edges, to seam into thekettle-body \Vitnesses: and form a part thereof, substantially in the E.A. BLYNN,

manner described. H. SCHILDT.
